Tour of the Alps 2022 (April 18-22)

[Faserr]

I think Pinot is better then Kämna at a 3,2 km steep climb (Stronach).
Guys like Kämna probably won't wait for the climb.

 

[RedheadDane]

Procyclingstats have to be wrong, they list him as being 32 years old already?

Seems crazy, but he is actually that old! Not that that's old...

Even more crazy; he's older than Quintana. It's just that Quintana has looked like an old man since he was in his earlier 20es, while Chaves perpetually looks like he's 15.

[Samu Cuenca]

Logan Mclain sounds like the son who tries to revenge his father's death in a bad Die Hard rip off.

 

[Pinot's goat]

Kämna?

Despite winning a stage, Kamna's form is not that good, he was getting dropped on the climb by average climbers.

 

[RedheadDane]

Are Pinot and De La Cruz going to go... duolo... with 60 Ks remaining?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Appears they are going softer now, and wait for the four behind, Arrieta, Kämna, Amador and Train.

 

[Faserr]

That's a long way to go. Traen, Amdaor und Kämna should be good at the rolling terrain if they work together.

 

[Lequack]

Pinot better win today after yesterday's heartbreak.

 

[Red Rick]

Pinot better win today after yesterday's heartbreak.

Pinot is gonna win the GC

 

[SafeBet]

So the peloton is more than 11 minutes behind? Imagine if Bilbao is having a bad day, nobody chases and Pinot wins the GC...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Tibo PINOT
all heart.

 

[JosefK]

When Thibaut won his first TDF stage ages ago, wasn't the weather a bit cloudy/rainy like today, or am I just romanticizing things?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

C'mon then MAL, catch Pinot now you whimp.

 

[RedheadDane]

C'mon then MAL, catch Pinot now you whimp.

Just... make up 11 minutes in less than 50 Ks. Easy-peasy.

 

[Red Rick]

De La Cruz looks stronger than Pinot.

 

[dercuforever]

De La Cruz looks stronger than Pinot.

This is a fact and I do not like it.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Forget the collarbones for a moment: does anyone have a plethora of ideas for protective gear for Pinot's heart?

 

[RedheadDane]

I'll have some of that too!

 

[Eclipse]

Not even Pinot can bottle this.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

De La Cruz looks stronger than Pinot.

Soon, the majority of Astana's wins this year will be from beating Pinot into second place...

 

[Ricco']

When Thibaut won his first TDF stage ages ago, wasn't the weather a bit cloudy/rainy like today, or am I just romanticizing things?

No, it was sunshine. Maybe some clouds at times, but no rain.

The only bad weather GT stage win he has was in Lagos de Covadonga'2018.

 

[Red Rick]

GPS now has peloton an hour down

 

[Red Rick]

Soon, the majority of Astana's wins this year will be from beating Pinot into second place...

Even the Bag demands Pinot rideth the Giro

 

[RedheadDane]

GPS now has peloton an hour down

GPS quickly disappeared!

Back to a more reasonable 11 minutes.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Aaargh, stream is down. Someone know where to go, pretty please?
